Can you please not post like this to HN? I understand the fun of these sorts of swipes in a more intimate context, but on the open internet it's just guaranteed to make discussion sour and dumb.

What you should do instead is explain what you know about NLBs in a neutral, respectful way that the rest of us can learn from. Either that, or it's always ok not to post.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
